Rạch Giá, Port city in Kien Giang Province, Vietnam
Located at the head of Rach Gia Bay on the Gulf of Thailand, the city extends along the north bank of the Cai Lon estuary.
The area, formerly named Kramuon-Sa, came under Vietnamese control in 1715 when the Nguyen rulers of Hue established protective jurisdiction over this Cambodian territory.
The Nguyen Trung Truc temple and multiple Buddhist pagodas, including a Khmer-style structure, reflect the multicultural heritage of this regional capital.
Rach Gia Airport connects to Ho Chi Minh City through regular flights, while ferries depart from the central pier to Phu Quoc and Nam Du islands.
The city pioneered Vietnam's coastal expansion through the 'lan bien' project, which increased its territory by extending construction into the ocean.
